Traffic Data Collection: Week of Sept. 28

Last updated: Communications Director | Friday, September 25, 2015

The Village will be conducting traffic data collection along Main Street from Ogden to Maple Avenues the week of September 28.

Traffic counters in the roadway and video cameras posted at traffic signals will be used to record the turning movements of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Terra Engineering will process and summarize the overall volume of vehicles and pedestrians at each signalized intersection. User specific data such as vehicle make/model, license plate number or other personal identification measures will not be reported.

The traffic data will be used to analyze how well signals are operating to move vehicles and people along Main Street. Adjustments and fine-tuning can then be made, if necessary, to help reduce congestion and travel delays for vehicles.
